WORLD BANKNOTES

FOREWORD

With Barnaby concentrating solely on our Singapore auction, coming up on 16th August, this year it fell to the rest of the

Banknote Department here at Spink to produce our second annual summer auction. Monica, Thomasina and I have been

hard at work cataloguing, and have produced a modestly sized (by Spink standards) but very attractive sale.

There are some lovely notes on offer, and at very attractive estimates. Some highlights include the unsold items from the

Amon Carter collection of South Africa, which have remained ‘on ice’ for the last 17 years. While they were unsold in

1997, the world and the market have changed a great deal. The rarity of these issued South African private bank notes is

now truly appreciated, and we hope collectors will welcome a second chance at them after so long.

On a more individual basis, we are offering four of the much sought after Mongolia notes of 1921. Lots 356-359 constitute

the $1, $5, $10 and $25 from this bright, colourful and very rare series. Collectors of early Commonwealth will want to

take a look at lot 146, a hitherto unknown Falkland Islands £1 dated 1920. No 1920 date has ever been seen for this

already rare series, so this is an important find. The high end India market has proved excellent recently, so there should

be great interest in lot 211, a pair of consecutive George VI 1000 rupees. Both notes are in original very fine grade,

making them very sought after.

Nor is the sale without something for British collectors. On the back of the two £500 notes sold in April, we have lot 733,

a Peppiatt £500 Liverpool. While slightly less rare than the Leeds branch note offered a few months ago, this is

nevertheless a difficult note to obtain.

We hope that this sale holds something interesting for all of you, and you can join us this July, either in person, on the

phone or on Spink Live.

Best of luck,

Andrew, Monica, Thomasina and Barnaby

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Imported and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer outside of the EU.
